Scale
- 1.5 lbs chicken thigh meat, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch sections and patted dry
For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup sugar-free honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp xantham gum
Optional:
- 1-2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar-free honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sweetener, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder and salt (do not add the xantham gum!). Whisk the ingredients and microwave on high for about 1 minute. Remove from microwave and whisk to dissolve sweetener (if sweetener will not dissolve, place the bowl back in the microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds and whisk again until the sweetener dissolves).
- Once sweetener has fully dissolved, whisk in the xantham gum and set the sauce to the side.
Prepare the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the cubed and patted dry chicken and allow it to brown (3-5 minutes).
- Add the sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken. Allow the mixture to boil and thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken even further. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!
